I am happily single, but I'd like to make some new friends and date
more often. In the process, I hope to learn more about my likes and
dislikes, and finally meet someone who is right for me. I'm a bit
eccentric, so that could take a while.

being resourceful and making do with what's at hand. I can also
drive a stick shift and know my way around town. I'm also good at
reading maps and driving long distances. I can cook when there's
someone to cook for. I have a huge vocabulary and I know how to
swim. I'm also really good at keeping quiet about these
talents--most of the time.

Most say my smile. Some people like my eyes (blue with hints of
green), but when I smile, my eyes squinch up and it's harder to see
the color.

I'm usually a snappy dresser, too, so I get compliments in that
department---though I seem to be casually dressed in my profile
photos. Rest assured, though; I look good in suits and ties, and
you can take me anywhere.

Books: I like nonfiction about social, political, and psychological
topics, Kurt Vonnegut, and the classics of literature. My summer
goal is to finish reading or watching Shakespeare's comedies. I am
also starting to get back into science fiction after not having
read any since my teens. Kindred by Octavia Butler was really good,
as was The Space Merchants by Frederick Pohl. I'd like to read more
like those.

Movies: The older the better. Marx brothers, the Thin Man series.
Almost anything with Boris Karloff or Bela Lugosi.
